tranquility

I'm making it a goal to find peace and tranquility everyday. Winter sunsets just make me happy.

I couldn't resist posting a few more!

Modeling is hard work and he was hungry!

This leaves me speechless. Not my photography but his angelic little body. I love the bubbles on his chin.

Eco Baby!

It's been a rough last couple of days between being sick and work problems. I needed to just sit down and have some fun with mindless editing. And I still have so many photos of baby P to go through. I'm striving for this year to bring some relief we so desperately need. Working for other people and giving more than your receiving isn't cutting it anymore. Well, actually it has never cut it. I decided yesterday that I am going to bring back another passion from my past. No, not an ex-boyfriend (don't worry Michael). This passion is designing jewelry. I had been making and selling jewelry at my mom's gift shop for a couple of years and was really loving it. To top it off it was bringing in some extra cash and I was getting to do what I love which is creating. I guess with all the stress of everyday life I lost interest and sadly hid all of my beloved jewels and gems away in my closet. I think I need to bring it back to fulfill my need to create, to be able to give beauty back to others and also to use it as sort of a therapy. I need some calmness in my life. Especially right now. And I think maybe it could turn into something more amazing than it was in the past. So I have set up an Etsy account and I will be listing the first of my collection very shortly. I am SOO excited! I need this and I know it will be amazing.

On a different note: Cloth Diapering. How much respect does that deserve?! This little man is already doing good for his planet and he's only been here for 5 months. I think little P has really big aspirations. Watch out Barack! You are going to have some young competition!

lost for words

I tried for a really long time to come up with a title for this. But nothing suited it. He's just too perfect. The lashes, the cheeks, the lips, the eyes, the skin.....I mean please. He should be on the cover of baby magazines everywhere. And he loves the camera. It's like he has been modeling for years! More to come from this session!

adorable

Michael and I spent the Super Bowl celebrating another Steeler's victory with the family yesterday. Baby P passed out right before the game was getting really intense, but woke up just in time for the screams of excitement! I figured it was a perfect opportunity to get some shots in of baby p. And I had been itching to get my finger on the trigger after a long love-hate relationship with my bathroom this weekend. I won't give out any details but for the record food poisoning isn't fun. The sun was fighting us as it was nearing 5:30 but we managed to get in a few good ones. I'll be going back to do another session really soon. Next time I'll plan for more light and hopefully I'll be back to feeling like myself again.

What a happy boy! He looked so cute in this little sweater, we just had to snap a few pictures of him. Although, he's walking pretty well now so today definitely pushed us to play with shutter speed.

getting down to business

2009 is a fresh start and we really feel like it is going to bring great things. We finally got around to quickly designing a business card and getting them ordered. It really only took about 20 minutes so I'm not sure why we were avoiding it. lol. I think they turned out really beautiful. The photo doesn't really do them justice but it's the best I can do for now. Now when people ask us for a business card we're always prepared! Right now we are working on getting our website up and running, it's going to be so exciting. Stay tuned!
